18·22 hours agoI know plenty of Boomers who are additcetd to their smartphones. Even more so than the younger generations. Some even have the TV on in the background while doomscrolling.

This is one of those lyrics that keep hitting hard, even after 30+ years of first hearing this song:
How can I find The right way to control All the conflicts inside All the problems beside As the questions arise And the answers don’t fit Into my way of things Into my way of things
Joy Division - Komakino
1·9 days agoOh that’s a good suggestion! Definitiely worth reading!
I have already read some excellent suggetions. Here’s some of mine:
The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (the Lifeship Trilogy is excellent as well)) The Many-Colored Land series by Julian May Imajica by Clive Barker
Don’t bother with the Ice and Fire series by GRR Martin. The first three books are good and the rest is meh. As per the fourth book, an entirely new set of characters and storylines were introduced, without actuallly finishing the story after the first three books. The story will not be finished and that’s a bummer. Life’s too short and there’s too much better stuff out there.
Thank you for calling out a pet peeve of mine.
Agreed about it being a special place. That’s why it popped into my head in the first place. But the many bus loads of people being loaded ever day makes it a tourist trap. The higher parts are more tranquil though.
Adding to this already good post, a side benefit of a service like Vaultwarden is that you can use the same password management system among all your devices.
I actually loved Mont St. Michel.
Is that an apple thing?
Sadly no. I have had several Lenovo’s with the same thing, and my current Asus at work does not allow swapping memory or SSD either. My daily driver is a Tuxedo, which does allow all this.
The apple of the automotive world.
From what I hear from a BMW mechanic in the family, they are starting to become the Acer of the Automotive world, although they would have to compete with Volkswagen for that title.
Please allow me to broaden the context. I used to be an avid motorcyclist. I had a 2000 BMW R1100, which I could service with a modest set of tools. A more modern BMW appears to be very hostile to home mechanics. Even the screws have a corporate head nowadays. Servicing a BMW has become very expensive, as it requires some extremely specialized mechanics (or so they say). My next motorcycle, if I ever buy one, will NOT be a BMW.
It fits in a trend: consumers are being kept from servicing, upgrading or otherwise extending the lifespan of their devices. Repair a smartphone? Good luck. Swap an SSD in your laptop. Tough, buddy. Want to set up your dishwasher. Sure, download the app, give your GPS coordinates and the birth date of your firstborn and you can set it up.
Me and the wife made it a point to choose names with actual meaning for our kids. The youngest certainly lives up to hers. She has a name fit for a warrior and she is a fierce one.
Armchair general here who is bad at strategy games. Please take with a grain of salt.
The US sent advanced armies at several agricultural societies and still got their asses handed to them. I can imagine that in a domestic setting, the death toll will be high, but that the civilians eventually win. Also, I wonder whether the military would want to fight their own people. Then again, ICE is a thing as well.
Where are you from, OP? Not only do we not eat dessert right before bedtime (where did you get that silly idea?), but where we live, dessert is commonly either milk-based, fruit based or both.
It would have to be very, very bad and it would weigh heavily on my soul if I ever were to speak those words to my children.
Important? No. I write open source software for a living, but have been partly railroaded into a corporate project that sucks the joy out of work.
Proud? Fuck no!
Racism
Decaffeinated coffiee. Nobody specified who would get angry and when. :)
Whether or not you need Steam, would depend on the game you would install.
What type of games do you like? I already see many good recommendations.
If you are into survival games, you could look into Valheim. I can play comfortably at 1440p, medium settings on my integrated GPU (4 year old Ryzen7).
